Stephan Kinsellla — Personal Information
June 2009
I’m from Prairieville, Louisiana, a small town near Baton Rouge, and received B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from LSU in Baton Rouge (1987, 1990, respectively). I received my law degree from Paul M. Hebert Law Center of LSU in 1991. I then lived in London for the 1991-92 school year, where I studied international law at King’s College London-University of London, with my friend and LSU law classmate Paul E. Comeaux; I received an LL.M. (masters in law) in international business law in 1992. I’ve been married since 1993; we have one child.
I’ve practiced intellectual property and patent law since 1992, initially with Jackson Walker L.L.P. in Houston (1992-94). Cindy and I moved in 1994 to Philadelphia, where I practiced with Schnader Harrison LLP (1994-97). In 1997 I moved to Duane Morris LLP, along with my previous department head, William Murray, and colleage Rob Rosenthal.
Shortly thereafter, homesick for Houston, we moved back here. I opened Duane Morris’s Houston office. In October 2000, I left Duane Morris to become general counsel for one of my clients, Applied Optoelectronics, Inc., a high-tech startup in Sugar Land, near Houston.
In addition to professional and other personal interests (such as skiing, dining, literature, and traveling), I’ve been interested in philosophy and libertarianism since about 1983 (late high school), and, since 1991, have been active writing and speaking on libertarian related matters.
